This is the place to let it all out.

I'm having wicked cramps and I don't start until next week. What the hell?

That sucks, Linanil.

I'm having cramps and it's day 4, a bit unusual for me.

I get bad cramps when I ovulate. It's like having two periods a month!

I hate my period! It's so irregular it goes on for weeks at a time. I don't even know how long this one has been. Since some time in September at least. Not cool body.

I, um, would really like it to show up. Ya know?

My period (coupled with bronchitis) ruined our 5 year wedding anniversary trip.. I am praying it stays on schedule, so it finishes up right before my book tour.

My period cramps were actually fairly uneventful (a few days ago), I got through the day fine...until I tried to sleep, and then she unveiled her evil plan to keep me up all night in pain. Damn you, uterus.

I'm tired and crampy and nauseous and I wanna go home and curl up in a ball!

First overshare on the ppk (!) so that at least melisser doesn't have to feel alone: tonsilitis and my period ruined my four year anniversary with my boyfriend last week.

and not only did I double post, but I was also cut off! How rude, new forum. How rude.

You two win. Period + sick + anniversary...worst ever.

I tried to skip a cycle by going back to back on my BC, but it had other ideas... :x

I haven't had my period in over two months. I should be happy, I suppose, but I'm only 35 and definitely not pregnant, so it's a little worrisome. Even when I'm not having a period my uterus is forking with me.

I just finished but I think I'm going to have to stop using my mooncup and go back to tampons. After a couple of days, because I have to change it so often, I'm so freaking sore down there and it lasts for about 2 or 3 days after my period finishes. It sucks.

On another note the doc has put me on a low dose BC pill now to try and make my periods less heavy, I had to stop taking tranexamic acid as it set off my acid reflux. GAH.

I'm crampy right now. And cranky. Cranky as hell.

I'm almost done for the month, but in honor of the new boards, I feel the need to tell the world everything you never wanted to know about my periods. After all, the PPK is not the PPK without TMI (and poop, but that's not really relevant to this thread).

I have crazy breast tenderness up to two weeks before my period. This has only happened since last year, when I turned 30. It sucks. I also spend the entire week before craving every piece of bread I can get my hands on, and sometimes chocolate. My periods also go completely wacky every once in a while, without warning. I can go months like clockwork, then all of a sudden I will be very late or very early. Usually this makes my periods coincide with holidays and long trips, and last time it decided to be super-late was after a rare incident of unprotected sex.

Periods suck. If my sexual urges are not fulfilled prior to my flow beginning, I'll constantly be horny throughout the 5 days my period lasts... And I have a boyfriend that goes to bed early, and would rather do it in the morning! Ah. And you know no one gets morning sex unless it's Sunday!! (But I guess that's really afternoon sex.) And I've tried satisfying myself during my period, but there's too much cramping for me to relax. So, I've had many a horny period, only to be stone cold after the period is over - with an almost female-blue-balls-style sensation that lasts a few days after all the menses are gone.

And guess what? I've got the female-blue-balls feeling, right now. Just. Great.

I've got cramps right now. Have been off of BC for a few months now and my body is going haywire. My periods are irregular, cramps, bloat, and sore breasts. This sucks.

My damn period is so forking unpredictable. I also never know when it's coming, but I've been PMSing for a while now and am prayyyying that it forking comes already! I'm having a party on Saturday and I really don't want to be all bloaty and cranky for it!

Worst forking hormonal acne ever (seriously, as soon as one zit heals another pops up right next to it) but no period yet. I just want to get this part of my cycle to be over and done with.

I don't currently have it, but I've been noticing that my best friend raps about my period a lot. A LOT. What should I think of that?!

Mine is late. >B(

It came, it came! Never in my life have I been so happy to wake up to blood.

Mine's due on Tuesday and I have spots. :(
ETA: and today I had a random spell of nausea and felt like I needed to vomit! I'm pretty damn sure it's not morning sickness.

I'm afraid for it this time around because last time it put me out of school/work for two days. I have cysts and such and boy oh boy. I think it's on its way now because I've been inhaling any food that gets in my way today...and that's usually the way it goes for me.
